Geez, Jantjies smashed Earl Rose.
Griquas have to play catch up now. Great defense Lions.
Taute yellow. Looked innoccuos in real time, but replay was convincing.
Lions need to really consolidate now.
Try Makuena??
TMO
No try… he was out first
Touch. No try. Lions Line Out.
Another 5m penalty for Kwas… they kick out yet again
Vark Lions need to break out.
Lions turn it over and clear to touch.
This Lions team has more substance than recent years.
Griquas bring on the reserves now.
Desperation stakes?
Their defence has been brilliant. TRY
Try ALwyn Hollenbach
Lions play a good complete game, watch out here is something big coming. Jantjies will be the MVP if Morne can not repeat his BIL performance
Lions 34 / 6
A man down, under pressure, break out, win the penalty, make touch and score a try.
Easy game plan.
Kick over and the game is all but over.
73 @ Scrumdown:
Are you at the Coke Tin?
Try Jonathan Mokuena for Kwas
Lions 34 / 11
73@ grootblousmile:
No. Only got home after 19h00 so couldnt make it.
Lions getting sucked into Griquas game plan like last week v Pumas.
Penalty Kwas… they opt to kick out… now they will try to pressure the Lions again..
77 @ Scrumdown:
No problem.
Try Kwas… Ryno Barnes
Lions 34 / 18
If Kwas get a try now it’ll suddenly be game on…
Penalty Kwas…. Doppies la Grange cops a yellow
Kwas 10m out…. bundled out
Lawrence is a fukcing chop. It was never a ruck. The ball nbever went to ground. BOX.
Relieving penalty to the Lions
Same sh1t happens and he gives the Lions a penalty. F All consistency!
Try Earl “Marsmannetjie” Rose, under the sticks
Hahahahaha is all i can say, great hahaha
Lions 34 / 25
